...While I was taking my prerequisite courses to get into graduate school, I worked part-time as a tutor for Upward Bound. My favorite subjects to tutor are math, physics, chemistry and biology. I firmly believe that in order for a class to be interesting, the teacher must be passionate about the subject. I’m very passionate about the natural sciences, mathematics and language. As your tutor, I hope to impart some of that passion to you....

...students. As part of my graduate study of physics, I am well versed in all grade school and college-level mathematics. The teaching style I have developed through my own experience, as well as keeping up with the results of physics education research, follows a Socratic principle. Students should be carefully guided as they pursue their own understanding, and should be able to experience for themselves the fun of figuring out the natural world. I also...

...physics I tutor in basic physics, the SAT subject test in physics, and AP Physics 1,2& C. For mathematics, I tutor in elementary mathematics, Algebra 1,2,3,4, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Trigonometry, Calculus 1,2,3 and AP Calculus AB/BC, Multivariable Calculus, SAT math and both SAT math subject tests. Of these subjects, my favorite to tutor are any of the calculus courses since that is my favorite area of mathematics and I find it rewarding to share that interest...

...great success and I like passing them along to my students. When you work with me, we will run diagnostic tests to pinpoint the exact questions types that are troubling you and then focus on that type of question until you understand exactly how to solve them. In addition to test-taking skills, I am happy to give advice on getting into college or law school and how to succeed once you are there. Wow, if...

...to A's and B's. They successfully completed their courses with a high grade, firm understanding of the concepts and a boosted self-confidence. Hard work and learning is easier with interest and engagement. I make the environment interactive and comfortable with patience and a sense of humor. I focus on helping individuals firmly understand concepts and be able to use those concepts in problem solving. Each session is an opportunity to ask questions, make mistakes, and...

...I believe a great tutor not only teaches the material, but also helps students to become more effective learners. I often provide real-world examples to help students get excited about concepts. Also, I use practice problems so that my students can see their own improvement and gain confidence. These strategies help students to become better lifelong learners, and their benefits extend beyond the subjects I am teaching. In addition to teaching and learning, I love...

...main passions are physics and math. I was fortunate enough to have a wonderful physics professor who turned physics into a way of viewing the world around me with a renewed sense of curiosity. I enjoy being able to spark this love of physics in my students, and as a consequence also sparking a love in mathematics, a necessary companion to physics. I also enjoy helping students prepare for the SAT because it is a...

...I don't know the answer to, I will do what is necessary to find that answer for you and help make it clear. I focus on not only teaching the material, but also helping students think critically. Focusing on learning techniques and expanding one's toolbox is the most important way to tackle unforeseen problems. The biggest challenge I find students have is bridging the gap between what they already know and what is expected on...

...subjects, I am most passionate about Calculus, Statistics, and Chinese. Based on my learning and tutoring experience, I believe it is critical to learn and understand all of the concepts of the subject, practice and master the knowledge, and then apply it to real world situations. Organization in the teaching and learning of the subject plays an important role. I hope that students result in mastering and appreciating the subject. On my own time, I...
